It has been a long time since I have been to Budapest the last time, far befor the wall came down. It is a very nice city along the river Danube and you can feel the grandess of the former Austrian-Hungarian empire.

Wednesday we were dining on the river with a spectacular view on the castle on the Buda side.

Finally the Summer has arrived, at least for me. We have 26 degree celsius here in South Carolina. Sunday I had a bit of time to hike in the Appalachians, climbing up the table rock mountain. The picture is taken on the way down, there are lots of scenic waterfalls and the path is partly leading through dense shrubs of rhododendron looking a bit like in the jungle. Must be even nicer during blossom. The week will be full of work, but we are looking forward for a great bbq on the farm of a colleague on Wednesday.

On second January Matti made it almost in time. Since then drinking, sleeping and grimacing are his favorite activities. Since Sunday we are all at home. So far he is very uncomplicated, sleeping a lot between feedings. It's a lot fun and we are improving pit stop times every day.
